    BBC subtitles / captions are translating the non English songs.

    Not bad.

    Was expecting a 'Nah, don't want it again next year' type entry.

    Great song…moment spoiled slightly by the giant ‘TURN ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE LIGHT NOW’ sign.

    Switzerland: Strong effort. Nice vocals, camerawork is simple but effective. I feel like it's missing something though, to make it more of a "moment".

    This has been a terrible semi final. I don't think there's been any standout performances

    Are Cyprus this years UK? Crap song, silky staging and not top of firm performance?

    Very poor standard but Switzerland have the best song from tonight. Sweden is alight like, but I don't get the hype about it. Nothing special!

    IMHO Sweden’s song was brilliant when Monty Python did the original 50 years ago.

    I liked Italy’s song before tonight, even more so now.

    By far, the best song tonight. 🙂

    They're growing on me now. Estonia song is my guilty pleasure. Italy and Swiss songs were nice. I actually liked Icelandic Jedward too 😁

    Jesus Cyprus nearly gave me a seizure.

    Italy, Sweden, Estonia, Portugal, Switzerland, Norway, Croatia, Netherlands in that order for me.

    Anyone but Azerbaijan - dire.

    Really only the Italian song was properly good I think.

    I'll be disappointed if Eluveite don't show up at some point.

    I think these five will all safely qualify:

    Estonia, Ukraine, Sweden, Belgium, Albania

    Less confident about these four but still probably going through:

    Poland, Netherlands, Norway, Cyprus

    Not sure on the last one. Slovenia might stand out as the only ballad but Croatia might benefit from its spot in the running order.

    Is there any reason for isreal so high in the betting, other than them pumping the phone voting?
